loom buyers in Bangladesh changed almost overnight away from hand loom fabric
to machine loom fabric putting hundreds if not thousands of weavers out of work.
Artisan Hut is marketing organisation owned by the fair trade producers, the groups
each have their own areas of expertise e.g. weaving, cut and sew or printing but
work together to maximise the fair trade value added within the supply chain.

for the producers to develop their communities. All profit generated by Artisan
Hut is controlled by the producers.
